Becky Lynch’s Acting Projects Delay WWE Return Plans

Becky Lynch was notably absent from the 2025 Royal Rumble premium live event, despite fan expectations of her potential return. According to Fightful Select, Lynch was not present at the event and was never factored into the creative plans for the show.

While discussing Lynch’s status during a Chris Van Vliet interview, Seth Rollins provided insight into his wife’s current endeavors.

Becky has a major project in development, along with her role in the Star Trek series on Paramount.

Lynch departed WWE after her contract expired in June 2024, during which time she held the Women’s World Championship following Rhea Ripley’s injury. Her previous in-ring appearance saw her challenge Ripley unsuccessfully at WrestleMania in April 2024.

WWE Yet To Establish Return Timeline

Despite signing a new contract with WWE following her departure, Lynch’s return to television remains undetermined.

Reports suggest that as of December 2024, WWE had not finalized any creative plans for Lynch’s involvement at WrestleMania 41, with her entertainment commitments potentially impacting the timeline for her in-ring return.
